00:00Alright, quick question for anyone who ties up a boat at the dock,
00:03does a bungee line actually beat a plain rigid rope?
00:06I dug through a ton of listings for bungee dock lines versus rigid ropes,
00:10which holds better and found some serious deals.
00:14Let's get into it.
00:15This is the one I keep coming back to.
00:18It's a bungee dock line built for exactly this job, kayak, jet ski,
00:22sea-doo, pontoon, canoe, powerboat, all of it.
00:271388.
00:28Almost 4,400 sold.
00:31Still a 5-star rating, which means people bought it and then came back to leave a perfect score.
00:37If you buy one thing from this video, make it this one.
00:41Now this next one made me pause, because it's basically the same idea,
00:45it's 1366, a couple bucks cheaper, with 4,200 sold and a 4.8 rating.
00:51So why second?
00:53Because the first one has the cleaner rating,
00:55and over a couple of dollars I'm not gonna lose sleep either way.
00:59Counting pennies?
01:00This is your pick.
01:02Same job, same result.
01:05But if you want the premium version, this is it.
01:09Elastic bungee dock line with stainless steel hooks,
01:11and here's the part one actually like, it's adjustable and shock-absorbing.
01:15So when a wave slaps your boat or the wind pushes it around,
01:19the line stretches instead of yanking your cleat sideways.
01:231477, almost 4,000 sold, 5 stars.
01:27This is the one I'd splurge on.
01:29This one's the short king.
01:32For foot bungee dock line, single hook on each end,
01:35and it's marketed as an anti-collision rope,
01:37it cushions the boat instead of letting it bang against the dock.
01:40Perfect if you want something small, easy to store, easy to clip on and grab.
01:461427, 3,600 sold, 5 stars.
01:50Great little add-on.
01:52Here's the rigid side of the fight.
01:55Double braid nylon, in 16 and a half foot, 25 foot, or 50 foot lengths,
02:00and length matters a lot when you're docking a good distance from the cleat.
02:041410.
02:06Ratings of 4.3 though, lowest of the whole bunch.
02:09And rigid ropes don't flex, they don't absorb shock.
02:13That's the whole argument.
02:16Links for every one of these are in the description.
